Currency App: Introducing Banknotes in a New and Interactive Way

Educating the public about the design and security features of a new banknote series is vital for broad acceptance and to ward off counterfeiters. Thanks to our Currency App, central banks can show and explain all features in an interactive and captivating manner. The smartphone app supports a holistic, multi-channel approach to raise the public’s awareness.

A smartphone app is a modern and efficient medium for communication with the public, especially when introducing a new banknote series. In most countries, smartphones are widely used, and a Currency App that offers fascinating functions and can be downloaded for free will capture the interest of a broad public. People can learn about and experience the new banknotes intuitively and interactively, and can use the app whenever they need assistance identifying individual notes.

In our Currency App, banknote features are presented in high resolution. Touching areas of interest provides a detailed view and specific explanation. Tactile structures, such as raised intaglio printing, are simulated by the smartphone vibrating when the corresponding areas of the banknote are lightly rubbed. Tilting the phone allows dynamic effects, such as the color play of a RollingStar security thread, watermarks, and see-through elements, to be made visible.

In order to follow a multi-channel approach, links to YouTube channels, social media accounts, and other useful webpages can be integrated. Practical functionalities, such as the automatic recognition of denominations using the phone’s camera, support visually impaired or non-visual visitors by identifying individual notes. Optional features, including the combination of real banknote images with stored data or augmented reality, create eye-catching effects.
